The Embrace That Keeps Poem by Lexy Sogl

You have the right laugh
Your grip is strong enough
Your stares have depth
But passion
-Nothing

There was never a promise
Of that i'm quite sure

Your perfect
In every way
Except mine

You took me by surprise

You are my past, my present
And I thought

You were my future

Lust controls your eyes
Never
will that be for me

Never

Tonight
I’m not afraid to tell you how I feel
My heart beats only for you

But alas—
Your not mine
